TOOL WITH TWO HANDELS

AS MORE & MORE PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD ARE EXPLORING THE POSSIBILITY THAT THEY , THEMSELVES , HAVE THE POWER TO DELIBERATELY CREATE WHATEVER THEY CHOOSE , I THINK IT WILL BE HIGHLY BENEFICIAL TO JUST TAKE A BREATH HERE AND LOOK AT .....WHY PERSONAL CREATION WORKS WHAT WE MIGHT USE IT FOR OTHER THAN BRINGING OURSELVES MORE MONEY , BIGGER HOUSES AND SPARKLING BLING .HOW PERSONAL CREATION IS RECONCILED WITH ALL THE PAIN & SUFFERING IN THE WORLD , AND HOW IT CAN BE EFFECTIVE IN ALLEVIATING THAT PAIN.WE ARE TALKING HERE ABOUT POWER , FOLKS . WE ARE TALKING HERE ABOUT HUGH AMOUNTS OF POWER . YET SO MUCH HAS BEEN SAID & WRITTEN ABOUT THIS POWER I BEGAN WONDERING ABOUT MY WRITING ABOUT THIS , IS THIS TEXT NECESSARY ? WILL IT BE HELPFUL ? AND JUST ABOUT THE TIME WHEN I WAS GOING TO DROP THIS PROJECT , I HAPPEN TO SEE , ON AN INTERNET BOOK SELLAR'S SITE A CRITICAL READERS REVIEW OF THE WAY IN WHICH " POSITIVE THINKING " AND PERSONAL CREATION IS TAUGHT BY SOME.

THE CRITICAL REVIEW : " I HAVE BEEN INTERESTED IN THE POWER OF THE MIND FOR MANY YEARS NOW... ( BUT ) I AM SO OFFENDED AT THE " GET RICH " ASPECT ...THAT WE ALL JUST HAVE TO FOCUS HAVING A NEW CAR, MONEY AND MANSIONS & IT WILL JUST HAPPEN . SOME OF MY GREATEST LESSONS IN GRATITUDE HAVE COME FROM REALIZING I HAVE ENOUGH NOW. I BELIEVE WE SHOULD USE OUR POSITIVE THOUGHTS TO FIND MEANING IN THE EXISTENCE WE ALREADY HAVE & TO ENRICH OUR SPIRITUAL LIVES. DOUBTLESS , POSITIVE THOUGHTS AND BELIEVING YOU ARE WORTHY OF LOVE AND ABUNDANCE WILL OPEN YOU UP TO RECEIVE MORE OF THE SAME , BUT IT IS NOT SOME KINDA MAGIC SPELL & IT IS NOT A SECRET. ........ POSITIVE THINKING CAN HELP YOU ENVISION SUCCEEDING AND MAKE YOU OPEN TO NEW OPPORTUNITIES , BUT IT WON'T MAGICALLY PAY THE BILLS. BY FAR THE MOST OFFENSIVE PART OF THE MESSAGE IS THE SUGGESTION THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE PAIN IN THEIR LIVES ARE SOMEHOW ATTRACTING IT WITH THEIR THOUGHTS , DAR FUR RAPE VICTIMS DID NOT ASK FOR IT . CHILDREN WHO ARE MOLESTED DID NOT ASK FOR IT. STARVING AFRICANS DID NOT ASK FOR IT . TO SUGGEST THAT THEIR 'INCORRECT THINKING " IS THE CAUSE OF THIS IS SICKENING..........

I WAS ASTONISHED TO COME ACROSS THESE WORDS. JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO ABANDON THIS BOOK AS A BAD IDEA. IT WAS AS IF THE UNIVERSE WAS YELLING AT ME : DON'T DO IT !!! I KNEW THEN THAT IF I DROPPED THE PROJECT , FAR TOO MUCH WOULD BE LEFT TO MISUNDERSTANDING , MISINTERPRETATION AND MISTAKEN NOTIONS OF THE MOST IMPORTANT AND WONDERFUL ASPECTS OF HUMAN LIFE. THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE NOW SAYING THAT THE WAY PERSONAL CREATION IS CURRENTLY BEING TAUGHT HAS TAKEN A WONDERFUL GIFT OUT OF A SACRED TREASURE CHEST AND PUT IT IN A STORE WINDOW THEIR SAYING THAT THE TOUTING OF " ATTRACTION " & "MANIFESTATION "AS A MEANS OF PERSONAL ENRICHMENT AND THE SATISFACTION OF PERSONAL DESIRES COULD , IN FACT , TAKE PEOPLE TO A PLACE OF MATERIAL ABUNDANCE , BUT MIGHT LEAVE THEM IN SPIRITUAL POVERTY . WHILE I KNOW THAT MOST CONTEMPARY TEACHERS OF "THE LAW OF ATTRACTION" COME FROM A VERY SPIRITUAL BASE , I THINK WE ALL NEED TO HEAR THIS CRITIQUE AND SIMPLY NOT WRITE IT OFF AS HAVING NO VALIDITY. I THINK WE NEED TO ADD MORE SUBSTANCE TO OUR COMMUNICATIONS ABOUT THE PROCESS OF PERSONAL CREATION . SO THAT THOSE WHO HEAR OF IT CAN MOVE TO A PLACE OF RICHER , FULLER , DEEPER AWARENESS WITH REGARD TO IT .HERE IS SOME SUBSTANCE THAT I WOULD ADD : PERSONAL CREATION ( AND THE ENERGY OF ATTRACTION THAT IS SO INTEGRAL TO IT ) IS A PRODUCT OF DIVINE LOVE . PERSONAL CREATION IS ABOUT POWER OF LIFE TO PRODUCE MORE LIFE. IT IS ABOUT POWER , PLAIN AND SIMPLE . THE POWER TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE . "ATTRACTION " IS A GIFT FROM A BENEVOLENT AND COMPASSIONATE DEITY . IT IS A TOO WITH TWO -- HANDLES -- ONE IN GODS HANDS AND ONE IN OURS . THAT TOOL IS IN YOUR HANDS RIGHT NOW , RIGHT HERE , WILL EMPOWER THEM OR DISEMPOWER THEM , AND WILL EMPOWER YOU OR NOT . YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS VERY PARAGRAPH WILL CREATE YOUR EXPERIENCE OF IT. IF YOU THINK THAT THIS IS ALL NONSENSE IT WILL BE. IF YOU THINK THAT THIS IS THE TRUTH , THEN IT WILL BE THE TRUTH IN YOUR REALITY. IT AS SIMPLE AS THAT. LIKE ALL TOOLS, IT IS MOST EFFECTIVE WHEN IT IS USED FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT WAS INTENDED. AND JUST WHAT IS THAT PURPOSE ? IT IS TO CREATE A HAPPY , PEACEFUL , JOYOUS LIFE FOR EVERYONE WHOSE LIFE YOU TOUCH , AND FOR YOU IN THAT ORDER..... N.D. WALSH
